What is coaching?

What is coaching in the first place?

I was never interested in coaching and was quite confused about the trending term “life coach”. However, I was always interested in self-improvement and was striving to become a better person let it be in work life or when it comes to health and travel. When I moved abroad and experienced the rollercoaster of change, I was in need of coaching like never before but did not know it. I had no idea, how coaching could help me, nor was aware that my thoughts have been circling around the same questions again and again without me changing my perspective to find a more suitable solution. Fast forward one year later I trained to become a professional coach, and I am convinced that coaching does really empower Expat Partners worldwide who paused their career to join their partner on his mission abroad.

How the international coach federation defines coaching

“Professional coaches provide an ongoing partnership designed to help clients produce fulfilling results in their personal and professional lives. Coaches can help people to improve their performances and enhance the quality of their lives.”

“Coaches are trained to listen, to observe and to customize their approach to individual client needs. They seek to elicit solutions and strategies from the client; they believe that the client is naturally creative and resourceful. The coach’s job is to provide support to enhance the skills, resources, and creativity that the client already has.”

Questions?

If you happen to move to Chicago, we can happily do the coaching in person. However, in times of modern forms of communication, most of my sessions take place over the phone. You will decide whether you prefer a video or audio call. Both are working great!

With each package, I will send along some exercises and workbooks. You are invited to take a look in advance to use it within our coaching session. However, you are in charge all the time throughout your personal coaching session, so you decide when to use what resource.
